What Is Breast Cancer Surgical Treatment?
Breast cancer surgery is a critical component of cancer treatment, and it’s tailored to your unique needs based on tumor size, stage, and personal preference. The main surgical options include:
Lumpectomy (Breast-Conserving Surgery)
- Procedure:
Removal of only the tumor and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue. - Follow-Up:
Often combined with radiation therapy to eliminate any residual cancer cells.
Mastectomy
- Simple Mastectomy:
Removal of the entire breast.
- Radical Mastectomy:
Removal of the breast, chest muscles, and nearby lymph nodes. - Skin-Sparing or Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy:
Preservation of skin for improved cosmetic outcomes in reconstruction.
Pre-Operative Procedures
- Diagnostic Imaging:
Mammograms, biopsies, and imaging tests (ultrasound, MRI) to assess tumor size, spread, and lymph node involvement.
- Consultation on Surgery Options:
Detailed discussions to help you decide between lumpectomy, mastectomy, and reconstructive options.
- Fasting & Medication Adjustments:
Clear instructions, including no food or drink for 8 hours before surgery and stopping blood thinners. - Pre-Surgery Markings:
If a mastectomy is planned, our surgeons carefully mark incision sites to ensure precise reconstruction.

- Pain & Swelling Management:
Effective pain control using prescribed painkillers, drainage tubes, and compression bandages.
- Physical Therapy & Mobility:
Gentle arm exercises to prevent stiffness and promote recovery. - Lymph Node Care:
If lymph nodes are removed, patients receive specific guidelines to reduce the risk of lymphedema. - Adjuvant Treatments:
Radiation or chemotherapy may follow to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and reduce recurrence risk.
